Top right is accurate.

I used to do this with boss fights until I got better at balancing for my party.

That’s super traumatic! I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Interacting with local people is definitely a good one. If there are any community events, especially recurrent ones, go there!

There’s something cathartic about seeing a comic character enact over the top violence on someone representing our everyday annoyances and rude people.

Your rage is justified and the phrase “It’s an attack on our personal space” absolutely nails it.

When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.

I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.

They wouldn’t let you chill out in the lobby?

When I was a young teen, one of my friends gave me a floppy disk of midi song files she liked a lot but they mostly had names like “ANIME 2” so I had no idea where they came from. There was one on there I was particularly obsessed with but could never find. Then one serendipitous day, I did. It was The Destruction of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.

Edit: Or it was Sora from Escaflowne. There’s been a few times I heard an instrumental or non-English song with no source to go off of.

Oh, good song!

I think I’d like to get this; do you have a brand you can recommend?

I am a woman whose father was an abusive narcissist, the list of what I needed and didn’t get is depressing to say the least. So I’ll boil it down to its essence: Be there when needed. Remember she is her own person, not an extension of you. Try to make her life better than your own. Let your love be unconditional. It may not be helpful advice, but it’s all I got for ya.

They don’t creep me out but I fucking hate birds. They’re so goddamn noisy. When I hear a bird near my window screaming, something primal in me activates and I wanna climb out on the ledge and throw rocks at it to make it shut the fuck up.

Wow thank you for the comprehensive write up! At this time we won’t be getting a new car–my husband and I are squirreling away our money for a down payment in the event we ever find a house, and since both our cars are still in fantastic condition, that takes precedence. But I will save your post, just in case!

Oh bummer, those latter things ARE what I was wanting. That’s too bad. I’m not very interested in Android Auto, I’m perfectly content with having my phone on a mount with an aux cord.

It looks like the remote starter and a rear/dash cam combo might be it!

Thank you!

I thought a rear/backup cam would be nice. I don’t know what other options there are that are worth going. If the answer is ‘none’ then I’m glad I asked :)

All right. I ignore the fact that I will be fired, do what I want in a way that cultivates the most customer happiness, get fired, post on the internet about it, then go back to what I was doing, a little richer for my stint, laughing at the PR shitstorm Hasbro has once again called down on itself. Then I go play Pathfinder.

Shoot I have a LOT. Documentaries and educational youtube channels are my JAM. If people like my top picks here and want more recs, let me know and I will spill out my list of followed channels.

But the top ones that spring to mind:

Most of Barely Sociable’s work (especially the two parter on bitcoin) but of all of his, my absolute favorite is The Dark Side of the Silk Road.

Again, most of Lemmino’s works, but particularly Cicada 3301: An Internet Mystery

and honorable mention to Summoning Salt for The Quest to Beat Matt Turk a documentary about the history of Mike Tyson’s Punchout speed running.
